Christina:

There's a couple of Remus and Tonks mentions in chapter 13, but it's
talking about the Trio meeting Remus and Tonks in Hogsmeade.  If I can
make this out correctly, "(Snape lesson - Harry skips to go to...)
Harry, Ron, and Herm go to Hogsmeade, meet Lupin and Tonks, can't
talk, Umbridge *something*, *something* note.  HRH recruiting for O of
P.  Hagrid fresh injuries."

YES!  And, of course, JKR using the word "firehead" has just made my
day.  This is great stuff.  I love how Ginny and Cho have a column
together, and I'm really interested in the "got to keep Sirius +
Lupin..." and then the word "fractured" (I think) crossed out. 
Fractured from what?  Each other?  The DA?  Harry?  And underneath it
says "*something* here."  The something looks like "gory," but that
doesn't make sense.  The word is in other places too, and I can't make
it out.

Heh heh - "And to Azkaban I must go.  I trust I'm allowed a
toothbrush."  Oh, Dumbledore, you snarky, snarky thing! (match the
"xx" in the box about Dumbledore being taken away to the quote at the
top of the page).

Ooo, and the name of chapter 20...was Umbridge's name originally
Elvira Umbridge?  And it looks like Grawp was originally Hagrid's
cousin, not his half-brother.  And Draco's main insult at the
Quidditch match was more about Cedric than Lily.  Ouch.

The second box under the Hall of Prophecy is interesting - "polyjuice
worthless, dept of mysteries too well guarded," all scratched out.

Christina:

It looks like "Snape/ Harry + father" to me.

This is seriously driving me nuts...
